The southwest has not developed since ancient times, why is Chengdu chongqing not convinced? In front of Xi'an and Luoyang, they are all younger brothers! One view is that it is not accurate to say that the southwest has been underdeveloped since ancient times, first of all, the Sichuan-Chongqing region headed by Chengdu was a region of sound and color in ancient times, and the ancient Shu civilization was conceived in the ancient period, which became a faction of its own, and during the Qin and Han dynasties, it had already entered the developed areas of the country (Lingnan was still a barbarian land at that time).
The Tang Dynasty had the reputation of "Promoting One Benefit and Benefiting Two", and the world's first paper money appeared in Chengdu in the Song Dynasty, and commodity trade was highly developed. After the Yuan Dynasty, Sichuan was slaughtered several times, the population decreased, and the vitality was greatly damaged. Yunnan also had the emergence of the Dali state, which divided the political power and competed with the central dynasty for many years. Guizhou is relatively weak, so it can be seen that the southwest has been underdeveloped since ancient times is not completely accurate...
Don't agree with this view, don't move to talk about how prosperous ancient times were, who was not rich in their ancestors? Is it really better than the ancient strength, can it be compared to the Central Plains and Xi'an? In front of Xi'an and Luoyang, chengdu in ancient Chongqing was a younger brother, blindly mentioning how developed and rich in ancient times, just shows that the current strength is not good, and it is not as good as the old ancestors.
Of course, it does not mean that a person is 30 years old, and things before 30 years old can be written off. Similarly, in the more than thirty years of reform and opening up, the history of the economic backwardness of Sichuan and Chongqing cannot be written off in one fell swoop, and those who have experienced this history are still alive! The republic has risen, but the backwardness of the past cannot be written off in one fell swoop, and social cognition is inertial.
For example, Sichuanese are short, and if Sichuanese suddenly become the tallest in the world overnight, Chinese would not have thought of and accepted the fact that Sichuanese are tall. Human cognition is inertial and may take decades for most Chinese to accept. Sichuan's economic situation is similar, and the people's cognition of the whole country is inertia! Even if the per capita wealth of Sichuan people now exceeds that of Shanghai, it may take decades for most people to accept this fact!
The southwest has not developed since ancient times, why is Chengdu chongqing not convinced? In front of Xi'an and Luoyang, they are all younger brothers! Don't mention that history refers to how powerful your ancestors were two thousand years ago, don't mention it, it doesn't make sense! Instead of not mentioning all your past decades, you are the past you created, how can you abandon the past you now? The same is true of the city, thousands of years ago Chengdu Chongqing how meaningless, because that Chengdu Chongqing and the current dime relationship is not, the current Chengdu Chongqing is piled up by industrialization and modernization urbanization, the ancient Chengdu Chongqing is at most the same name!
Do you disagree with the above point of view?
